How is he allowed to do that??? He can’t fire her! Who will stop the madness. His executive orders are not law!!
they have to because their core demographic is shrinking.....its old, white, racist and STUPID
She not leaving He doesn’t have the power to do that
And yall still posting “next election” The only way we are having a “next election“ is if National Guard do their fucking job and remove the treasonous, adjudicated rapist and convicted felon from the White House .. But again .. Some y’all voted this .
Illegal.
Trump won't remotely be able to govern by 2028, he has progressive dementia, he is into Mid-stage now. At this rate he will be bed bound in 4 years sleeping most of time. be thankful he didn't win in 2020
Let the Wall St. games begin!
What a world we live in !When the biggest felon in the free world can send such a letter as President of the largest supposedly democratic nation in the free world
To Narnia?
Part of what made the US such an economic powerhouse is it had strong rules based systems. Independent agencies who had teeth monitoring the economy, stopping corruption and making sure things were fair. That's why foreign money has always flooded in. Now, Trump is eroding those bodies bit by bit..
They have no choice. Like Bibi, accountability is the greatest fear
The destruction of the US economy takes another big step.
And that would be .... a powerful, intelligent black woman he's firing? UNPRECEDENTED, I say!!!!
He's really getting good at that. Probably the ONLY thing he's good at. He should say that to a mirror... YOU'RE FIRED!
"Do Something Congress"??? Maga Mike Johnson? Nobody is going to do anything. Nobody's coming to save us. All of you who stayed home in 2024- this is on you.
I literally had to pay to return my ballots from overseas. And so much of the dem base couldn’t get off their asses. If they had Trump would have listened to big and wedge in a Holden age of reform, dismantling the oligarchy and trustbusting. Yet we’ll be lucky if the nation we knew survives.
Exactly.
Oligarchs never care about the peasants. They are beneath them and their opinions mean nothing.
I dream of the day I hear he is rotting away in hell. Polite words just don’t matter any more…
The last, final free and fair election has already been held.
I’ve been saying this for 4 months. He’s attacking blue cities he wants violent pushback so he can declare himself supreme leader. Public emergency send in the troops, suspended the election. It’s in the dictator’s handbook. This is going to get bloody. One way or the other.
Thankfully there is in Donald Trump a President who places highly his solemn duty to ensure the laws of the United States are faithfully executed.
And she will be removed. Mark my words.
He's removing Lisa so he can Cook the books.
That's terrible.
Okay. I'm sorry. Low hanging fruit, I know people groan when I do this.
He can't legally do it. Do you think a nation of hungry, homeless, sick and poor people are just going to roll over and continue to let him stay? Or any of his sycophants either?
I didn’t think half the stuff would be happening, but it has happened.
And there will be more...Miller and Vaught are going through project 2025 line by line. There is no line of defense in congress and there won't be if the American public doesn't wake up, sit up, and vote blue in 2026. The very foundations of our country are at stake.
Trump Organization found GUILTY of a decade-long scheme of inflating asset values to mislead banks and insurers (his accounted jailed). The appeals court confirmed that Trump is barred from serving as leader of any new corporation. Trump fires a Fed Governor for what?
Oh, I know they are desperate to find an excuse to cancel elections, but I doubt they will be successful in that effort. They will probably have an election. But if the Republicans lose, they will just claim election fraud and throw out the results.
Page 2 1st paragraph is hilarious isn't it?
God he's just so brilliant
He is determined to tank the economy and get in the 30s for his approval rating.
Is that a signature ? It looks like Analwankybump
It's called intimidation! It comes in several ways. He does EO's - nothing real, like policy from congress; it's his wish list and that includes the letter about trying to push out a member of an independent board.
They want to starve citizens. TWUD.
Yes that and more Congressional Democrats sleep at the wheel or scared to drive at all. bsky.app/profile/wilb...
Piss on him enough of his bullshit
Congress isn’t doing nearly enough—and it’s clear they aren’t nearly scared enough. Meanwhile, Trump’s team just greenlit a $6.42B crypto grift that might as well be signed To Xi, With Love. It’s not just a scheme—it’s a bet that voters won’t connect the dots until it’s far too late. 🔗 Article 👇🏼

You can buy one primary house every single year as long as you live in it for a year and move into it within 60 days of closing. Pulte no doubt knows this. So to prove fraud you have to show they didn't intend to live in it as their primary residence or didn't live in it for the required year.
Ha, Ha, Ha! Good Luck🤯
More and more, I believe the GQP knows the fix is in; they have nothing more to fear at the ballot box. 260+ GQP legislators enabling our very own hitler. If we can turn the tide just once, in '26, we can restore democracy. If not ......
Once they prove to us the ballot box does not matter to them, we will exercise the 2nd amendment rights. Do you think they want to feel the impact of this particular amendment?
Bye bye US economy …. The little remaining trust toward US economy will just wipe out. Bonds will crash Debt cost will explode Dollar will collapse This is the end of the American Empire. Add to this the destruction of education, the end of science and innovation and you become third world economy
Trump has a track record of ruining everything he touches. So no surprises here. Only complete moronic bigots would embrace such a corrupt bloviating national embarrassment.
That has been the plan for a long time. Not sure why people keep closing their eyes to it. When the time comes for him to leave the people must turn out in masses and the military must stand down. In the meantime we cannot let his criminality be normalized. Fight back. Overwhelmed. Overcome.
Your country should consider a constitutional system of checks and balances, such as a Lockean separation of powers.
Yes, congress needs to get him out of there.
What I've often said, Trump is acting like he has no fear of facing the voters, the only reason he'd be like that is if he has no intention of facing the voters. Trump is looking for any excuse possible to declare martial law & cancel the mid terms
It sure I follow that logic.
Not
That's rich, a guy who committed fraud on real estate values firing someone for accusations of what he was proven to have done. He should resign.
Do something Congress? Mike Johnson is ALL IN. So long as it's his side that gets to keep power indefinitely. We are dangerously close to being a one-party state like China, Russia. That was always their plan anyway.
Not just the White House. They intend to keep all 4 levels of government
more illegal posturing from trump
Making over the White House to look like one of his tacky clubs was already a pretty clear sign that he regards it as his permanent domicile.
He liked putin's set up. So, once re-elected, he assumed "ownership" of the United States and all of its assets. It is literally a hostile takeover. Why do you think he is trying to acquire land and mineral rights and corporate equity... He thinks it really all belongs to him now that he's emporer!
Same with the plans to build the stupid ballroom. There will be no election in ‘28
And then what do you want to bet he uses it for RNC events (for free) and rents it out to just anybody (because it’s just sitting there empty)
26 is the one that matters. Don't get caught looking at 28. 27 and 28 go very very differently with a democratic congress
I’ll show up to vote like I’ve always done. But I’m not very optimistic.
it has been bleedingly obvious for quite some time. The way he is decorating is also a good sign.
I think this is a trial balloon. If he gets away with this with minor impacts, Powell is next.
Well, if you will all unite and oppose him, without fighting a war amongst yourselves, you can show them they’re very wrong and that America doesn’t want a King
Or your not planning to be alive much longer.
We absolutely cannot count on House Republicans to do the right thing. If they do they lose their majority and their power is more important to them than our Democracy.
"do something congress" That just gave me the laugh I desperately needed. Bless his heart, does he think Peepaw Trump's bootlickers are suddenly going to go "THIS TIME HE'S GONE TOO FAR" and regrow their spines? HILARIOUS.
They're always saying "THIS time he's gone too far"... and then, the next time it's "THIS time he's gone too far". He really needs to go much farther... No, even farther... No... Farther yet... I can still see him.
So in looking at her financial history (tax returns?), the guy who refused to release his tax returns is firing someone…for mortgage fraud. Seems like he knows a lot about this subject.
Good old projection again
He’s absolutely correct. These guys know exactly what they’re doing.
She said she ain’t going anywhere!
Agree.. they are not going for another elections
47’s letter about firing Cook is tanking the market. Are the oligarchs “buying the dip” again?
Yep, from day one of this 2nd term, the Trump Regime has governed as if they expect to be in power indefinitely and won't face a legitimate election for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, the Dems in Congress fiddle while American democracy burns.
Congress doing nothing is not an option. Democrats need to shout this every day from the rooftops or you are complicit in the ongoing travesty of governance.
she's a woman...she's black...she's very obviously smarter and better educated than the Orange Pancake so she had to go....the highly visible bigotry is lit in neon lights fifty feet high.
He wants them to write him an opinion that gives grounds for Powell’s removal. Testing all our limits.
@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov I know Maria won’t. She worried about a college sports bill that will pass with multiple democrats. There are more important things
🙏
Also, making tacky, carnie, grifter personalizations to the Whitehouse as if it belongs to you is a pretty good tell! How white-trash can you get? “I am paving the rose garden and building a wedding venue I can rent out….”
Those undecided voters who voted for this schmuck should have paid closer attention when he said last year, "vote for me this time and you'll never have to vote again". What did you think he was talking about ? He will never leave quietly.
Trump, who has ODD, does things because he’s told he can’t do them. The idea that there’s some 4D chess play here is comical.
He says do something as if Congress weren’t goose stepping along behind Trump
Are tax cuts for the rich and corporations that important that they'll allow TACO47 to destroy the economy? Please make it make sense!
You guys keep saying Trump is stupid and that may be true But if he is capable of taking over the fed to scare the GOP donor class into electing him a third time then he's diabolical which is far more dangerous imho
Heritage Foundation is enabling him. He's just a placeholder.
Tend to agree w you Not sure hf wants to tank the econ via fed reserve takeover but it's an interesting idea Tariffs might be enough and all these medicare medicaid cuts are going to cause chaos in 2026 as well as fatalities
It's just sad and pathetic that the whole GOP has no backbone or principles. Party over country is no way to govern and I personally would never consider voting for a Republican again because of this episode.
He's a puppet. Nothing more. Nothing less. He does what his masters tell him.
I can easily see Heritage Foundation saying what can we get this guy to do? Can we get him to end the ACA? Can we get him to cut Medicare/Medicaid? He called it the Big Beautiful Bill and it worked - what will they cut next - social security? OSHA?
Ok the fuckin irony of Trump claiming someone who lied on a mortgage application should be fired is a lot richer than Trump was before this term
He’s not staying.
What a deceitful letter especially coming from a man who’s a convicted felon.It’s obvious why he signed ¬ Bondi or another flunky lawyers. Under the Rules of Professional Conduct governing lawyers, a lawyer non-prosecutor can’t implicitly or otherwise threaten a person with criminal prosecution.
FuckTrump ! Puny half dead piece of shit.
My son a retired twenty year veteran of the Navy received an offer from DHS to come back. It came with a healthy bonus and a very sizable salary. He lives in Washington state and they wanted him to move to Arizona or California. How wide spread is the DHS reach.
Market test and prelude to fabricating outrageous pretext to fire Powell.
Him: You're fired Her: No I'm not www.cnbc.com/2025/08/25/t...
Lisa Cook has more chutzpah than the entire Republican congressional delegation.

We need to be doing more than voting before it's too late
Trump and the GOP are pulling out all the stops to have a Soviet or North Korean style election in 26 and another in 28. The SAVE Act, militarized cities, massive gerrymandering, and other techniques are part of the plan to have elections without having elections. Prison awaits if they lose.
That about sums it up. Don't have much faith unless the Democrats start really doing something. It will be Democrat state governors because Trump has been mostly ignoring the courts thanks to the Supreme Court.
States control voting. Any states that sit it out don't get a say. Example is 1864. See Electoral College map.
Ironically, this is when the Electoral College works.
How did fed manipulation work out for Nixon and the US in the 70s? The concept of learning from history is so foreign to this administration. I pray they are just as unconsciously incompetent at becoming a dictatorship as they are at monetary policy.
So cute that Robert thinks Congress will do something if asked. They wont.
I remember when the Reich got REALLY mad when former CJCS, Mark Milley, refused to resign. Trump had accused Milley of committing a "treasonous act" by communicating with China surrounding the Jan. 6 riot. He said Milley's punishment should be death. www.axios.com/2024/10/11/m...
Republicans are destroying the American economy on purpose!
We knew he wasn't going to leave long before the first gaudy gold flourish appeared in the oval office. We knew it when he was campaigning and told his supporters that they may never need to vote again. RIP American Democracy
Stagflation? No they’re trying to destroy the economy. And cause the default of the federal government.
Is it something about her skin color? 👀
FFS he lied on every damn tax return, loan doc, investigation he was basically ran out of NY because of his fucking lying about the value of his properties that is bank fraud & you Drumbo are guilty! So here is your notice vested in me by the constitution you are out Take your leave of our house!
People in power, Republicans. People who can stop this, Republicans. People letting it happen, Republicans. “Do something Congress” is do something Republicans in Congress. It’s important to hold the people responsible to account. Do that, people.
PLEASE!!!!!
Well, yeah, he's purging all of the black women. Nothing he hates more
Don't hold your breath. There isn't one single spine left in the #GOP.
Of course there is no intent to leave, that was true term one, and we saw what that lead to on Jan 6th. Expect worse now
Or if you were an idiot
Despite the fact that he has not the authority to do so.
This needs emphasised over and over
He did say that no one would have to vote again after this last election. Trump tells Christians they won't have to vote after this election - www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Imagine if Trump started applying such rigorous integrity standards to all! His cabinet members, all his appointees, & most of the republican party would be fired by now; & he would not be able to handle the cognitive dissonance required to remain in office.
Trump's not expecting to face the voters .. he plans on not having the next presidential election .. and if he can't do that, he'll force the GOP to run a shadow candidate that he can control remotely.
After 26, if your can cecede, then it should.
